Soil sifting

Post by Herb »

Some people call this sort of sieve a 'screen'. For years I'd been using the sieve by picking it up by the handles and agitating it over a wheelbarrow. That's become hard work, so today I added the four stubby little legs at the corners of the sieve. They keep it in place over the tub while I move the material being sifted to and fro with a shovel. It's much easier now.
